For many people language is culture. More than grammar, vocabulary, and communication, language carries the history of its people, lives and land, a worldview and a feeling about humanity. Language contains and reveals our values and lives in the body. This is especially true of indigenous languages – those threatened through colonialism but seeing a resurgence in new speakers. This conversation explores that survivance and the joy that learning and teaching language brings.

Join us on Thursday, March 27th, 5:30-7:30 PM, at Rondo Community Library, for a panel discussion moderated by Curator Robert Cozzolino, with Native American Educator and Indigenous Language Activist Taṡuƞka Wakiƞyaƞ Watogla (also known as Ryan Dixon) and Guitarist, singer and teacher Dáithí Sproule as panelists. Snacks and refreshments to be served.
